I15-R205-article-1462025-05-09T18:57:39Z Campaigns by the Eureka Committee and the Movement for Our Disappeared in Mexico: An insistence on the State’s response Campañas del Comité Eureka y el Movimiento por Nuestros Desaparecidos en México: Una insistencia por la respuesta del Estado Terán-Peralta, Marcos Movimientos sociales Acción colectiva Desaparición forzada Organizaciones de víctimas Derechos humanos Social movements Collective action Enforced disappearance Victims' organizations Human rights This article identifies and compares the mobilization campaigns organized by relatives of disappeared persons during Mexico's Dirty War and the War on Organized Crime. Utilizing a database of protest events, the campaigns that advocated for laws addressing disappearances are comparatively analyzed. Continuities and differences emerged in the repertoires oriented towards denouncing disappearances, as well as shifts resulting from democratization. Notably, organizations of relatives assumed more active roles, the involvement of international actors transformed, and new civic alliances surfaced. The findings suggest that despite the democratic transition, the escalation of disappearances has not been curbed. Organized civil society has become a pivotal actor demanding state accountability and institutional reforms through legislative channels to address this issue. Este artículo identifica y compara las campañas de movilización de organizaciones de familiares de personas desaparecidas durante la Guerra Sucia y la Guerra Contra el Crimen Organizado en México. Mediante una base de datos sobre eventos de protesta, se compararon las campañas que impulsaron leyes contra la desaparición. Se encontraron continuidades y diferencias en los repertorios orientados a la denuncia, así como cambios derivados de la democratización del país. Entre las diferencias se encuentran el papel más activo de las organizaciones de familiares, cambios en los roles de actores internacionales y aparición de nuevos aliados. Las conclusiones sugieren que, pese a la transición democrática, no se ha detenido el incremento de desapariciones, asimismo, la sociedad civil organizada es un actor central para exigir respuestas estatales a través del diseño institucional y promulgación de leyes.

This article identifies and compares the mobilization campaigns organized by relatives of disappeared persons during Mexico's Dirty War and the War on Organized Crime. Utilizing a database of protest events, the campaigns that advocated for laws addressing disappearances are comparatively analyzed. Continuities and differences emerged in the repertoires oriented towards denouncing disappearances, as well as shifts resulting from democratization. Notably, organizations of relatives assumed more active roles, the involvement of international actors transformed, and new civic alliances surfaced. The findings suggest that despite the democratic transition, the escalation of disappearances has not been curbed. Organized civil society has become a pivotal actor demanding state accountability and institutional reforms through legislative channels to address this issue. |
